I am playing the Seleukid Empire and have major difficulty with Parthia.
My cavalry is no match for them and has lost half it's men when have closed onto the enemy.
My normal infantry gets RAPED by their arrows and is to slow.
My persian archers plain suck due to their limited range
Phalanxes work better but they are sooo slow and dumb, break formation when they are not supposed to and get punched in the rear, sides or even in the front when they turn or don't have their long pikes ready.
I have tried goating the enemy into attacking me and lining up the phalanxes in one corner of the map, but often, the enemy shoots his arrows and just retreats instead of attacking and suffers no losses at all.
I have lost a small town and tried to conquer it back, but even if I position all my phalanxes at let's say 3 of the 4 gateways, they get owned (if they get there in time to prevent the enemy from sallying that is. Most of the time, they don't).
What can I do against this annoying little kingdom?
